Cheers. Was a tense time driving around Paris in her and finding a hotel with an underground car park she could go in and out!

Then I headed to Le mans for a double track day.

Some sideways action chasing down a Ferrari f12 http://youtu.be/_7C8OaD5lnk

Good video, I remember the days of driving a GT2 on track with the goal of preserving my own life rather than the value of the car, haven't driven a GT2 on track for a few years now frown

Different car, that's my current 997, the other 3 are my old 996, they're the standard wheels but painted Weiss Gold like the GT2 RS.

Went for a nice drive after work, is it possible to get board of these cars after 5 years.

Anyone going to the Big Porsche event on Sunday ?

The latest AUTOCAR gave the 996 GT2 a slating saying that it was the worst of the GT range. When I think back to how awful my car handled before the GEO check and freshen of all the suspensions parts, I tend to agree. It is unfair whoever to drive a GT2 that is still on factory settings or for anyone to drive a tired example. I have never driven a car that is so set up sensitive.
But surely 'worst of the GT range' is a bit of a paradox, like 'ugliest Victoria's Secret model' laugh
That's in the current issue? In what context are they judging it?
Autocar they probably revised the original press review anything to sell a cheap mag lol

I will have a spare wrist band so get polishing and come down, always good to see you and the car so should be a good one.

Are you guys all parking in displays or PCGB only areas? My membership hasn't been renewed for years so I probably won't be allowed in the nice car parks!


I'll probably only be able to stay for a few hours, house is currently being ripped apart and we're off on holiday on Sunday so a lot going on.

Always a pleasure K. The good thing about these get togethers is the drive down, nothing beats seeing one of these
Cars really let off !!!! The view from the rear just makes you laugh !
